Why this is the correct answer

Canada's current Maple Leaf flag was officially adopted on 15 February 1965, replacing the Canadian Red Ensign. Its design — a red maple leaf on a white field flanked by red panels — was selected after a national competition and debate. Before 1965, Canada had used various flags incorporating the Union Jack.
